Really glad to hear your wife finally landed CanadianJeepGuy. Congrats to you both!! Merlyn landed in Toronto Jan. 20th and I haven't been on here much since. Things are going well, ... and all of the frustrations we encountered in what was consider way too long of a waiting period are also...

Thanks Dan. The wait really sucks but on the day you find out everything's good, and your wife's coming over, ... what a great feeling. I wish you and her the best. Hope it happens for you quickly. :)

When I got home from work last night I was greeted with great news from Merlyn. Her package had arrived and there she sat showing me the visa, and all smiles. :D We saw the home address on the CAS change to Canada on the 5th though it must have been posted sometime during office hours on the...

I don't think it would hurt. It's also hard to say if it would help but maybe the MP can get a bit of feedback as far as how your file is going. More than a couple of times our MP's secretary talked to her contact and gave us feedback as soon as she got it. My wife had her medical redone on Oct...

Congratulations Truesmile!!! Hope you make it to Canada soon, .. and also hope you really like it here. :D

Thanks very much CanadianJeepGuy. It was a long and frustrating wait but we know the visa will be there sometime in the next short while and we will be able to finally start a real family life at last. :)

According to the website here it stated that if you can bring proof of how long you have been driving (and if it has been a substantial amount of time) you can start right out without going through all the graduated licensing crap. You have to bring a document from the motor vehicle department...

Thank you Steph C You're actually the second person who suggested the international license. Her lawyer also suggested that to her a couple of months ago. It might be worth exploring a little further, though I know sooner or later I'll want her to have her Ontario license anyhow. :)

I've got to agree with the majority here that it would be a bad idea. Bedroom pics really prove nothing. There are a lot of horn-dogs who move from woman to woman, but it doesn't really show any kind of devotion. I know they ask for proofs of intimacy, .. but I don't think that's what they were...

Thanks for all the info Sweden. It's certainly helpful!! :) You're right about how great it feels. I was skyping with her this morning when I checked and noticed the change so it made me happy to tell her about it, .. and of course she had to log on right then and see it all with her own eyes...

You were right Sweden. For us it took a couple of days due to the weekend I think but this morning when I checked sure enough it had changed to "Decision Made". ;D A couple of things I wonder are how long from the CAS showing this till the time her package should arrive, and once she lands how...

I hope yours zips through quick and without any hitches. It sucks (as you well know) waiting and wondering. Ours was a little complicated since my wife at one time had to send to the US for an FBI check, and her son who's in college in Manila is also part of our package. I hear that an extra...

Thanks CanadianJeepGuy, Antipolo's a great place and has so much to see in the rural areas around it. Some of the restaurants from up there have a great view as you look out over metro Manila, .. especially late night when you see all the city lights below. It's one of the places I'd consider...

Thanks again Sweden. I'll have to keep an eye on that. Sent my wife and IM to let her know but I kept her up too late and she must be in a deep sleep now. It's probably just as well because I am pretty sure she wouldn't be sleeping tonight. She's going to be so excited in the morning when she...

Thanks Steph C. She had the seminar a long time ago and has the document she's going to need to show she's done it, .. so now once she gets her package and gives me the word I'm booking more vacation and getting her flight booked too. 8)
